- At this time, Goryeo was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Because of its extremely respectful behavior during the founding of the Ming Dynasty by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Goryeo was designated as a country that could not be conquered. Because the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty was behind it, Goryeo's armaments were limited. It gradually relaxed, and finally developed to the point where some ports were even occupied by large groups of pirates.
Haisha Hou Xing is entrenched in the port of Inchon in Korea. He has about six to seven hundred fighting men, mainly Han people and Koreans in Liao Town, and he also has five large ships. Ordinarily, this area is the sphere of influence of Neptune, but Neptune really doesn't care about the little wealth of the sea shark. What's more, Goryeo is poor. Apart from producing some rice, there is really little oil and water, so Neptune is too lazy to pay attention to these shrimp soldiers and crab generals. It developed freely in the Goryeo area.
Haisha usually mainly robs merchant ships passing by the Bohai Sea, or attacks some small fishing villages along the coast of Shandong. However, due to his own weak strength, he dare not touch large armed merchant ships. Merchant ships flying the Haiwang safety flag , he didn't even dare to touch it, so he could only make a living by robbing some small cargo ships. His life was not very good.
However, with the vigorous development of Tianjin City, there were obviously many more ships passing through the Bohai Bay than before, and his life gradually became better. After making a few 'big' transactions, he led his men comfortably. A good year has passed.
As the weather gets warmer, the sea sharks that have been dormant all winter are searching for targets in this sea area with all their belongings.
"There is a big ship in the northwest!" A pirate was sitting on a tall mast pointing to the northwest and shouting.
Sea Shark also climbed to the height of the mast three times. He put up a pergola and looked to the northwest. Sure enough, a large ship was sailing towards this side quickly with the wind. Looking at the tall mast and the white ship The sails and streamlined hull, although Sea Shark had never seen this type of ship before, did not prevent him from seeing that it was a good ship at a glance.
With such a lonely ship and no Sea King flag flying, it would be unreasonable not to snatch it from him.
"This ship is really interesting. Come on up and take it to be my ship!" Haisha narrowed his eyes and ordered loudly.
The pirates immediately became busy. Some people waved signals to the four ships behind them. Some people went down to the cabin and shouted to the sailors loudly, "Hurry up and pick up the oars. Use all your strength. Brother said, it's hard to catch up with that ship." There is a reward¡±
Because the north wind was blowing on the sea at this time, Haisha and the others happened to be facing the headwind. There is an ancient Chinese saying, "The wind comes from eight directions, but it can only be head-on!" This means that the ship can move forward except against the wind, so when the wind is against it, the ship can move forward. , the sails no longer work, and we can only row with oars.
Although the two sides are still far apart at this time, it is not that easy for a big ship to turn around at sea. According to Haisha's thinking, if the other party realizes that he is a pirate, he should first lower the sail, then turn around, and then raise the sail to escape. By then, he has already moved up. However, a scene that surprised him happened before his eyes. The sail of the big ship on the opposite side tilted over and was swollen by the wind. With the rare flexibility of a big ship, it drew a beautiful arc on the sea and completed an arc. Extremely difficult 180-degree turning technique.
"Going against the wind sailing against the wind?" Haisha rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at it, then spit on his fingers and re-determined the wind direction. Yes, it was the north wind.
At this time, the wind was blowing from the north. The big ship on the other side turned around and sailed northwest, exactly in the same direction as the pirates. It was considered a standard sailing against the wind. Naturally, the pirates didn't know that the ship was equipped with a movable The triangular sail is not the large immovable sail of ordinary Chinese sea ships, so with a slight cross wind, the sail can still push the ship forward through the waves.
"Paddle, paddle quickly, catch up, this boat is so good, I want to book it!" Sea Shark licked his lips, stared greedily at the big ship in the distance, and ordered loudly to his men.
Sea Shark certainly knows how important a large ship that can go against the wind will be for people like them who make a living on the sea. Under Sea Shark's constant urging, the pirates rowed with all their strength.
But what disappointed them was that no matter how hard they tried, the distance between them and the big ship never narrowed, and the distance between the two sides was gradually widening.
Looking at the ship that was getting further and further away, Haisha clenched his teeth and felt annoyed for a while. He secretly prayed in his heart, "God of the sea, if you can let me catch up with this ship, I will burn incense for you during the holidays in the future!"
¡°Perhaps there was really help from Poseidon, but the big ship on the opposite side slowed down inexplicably.
Sea Shark naturally couldn't let go of such an opportunity. Sea Shark was very good at water. He pushed away the pirate at the helm and steered the ship himself. With the help of the current, the speed of the ship suddenly increased, and the distance between the two sides began to close
In order for Chen Xin to experience the essentials of T-shaped naval battle tactics, Li Dong chose a naval battle battlefield in the Bohai Bay. The north wind was blowing in this area. The three ships were all at anchor and lined up in a column, but the ships The sails were all furled and basically stopped in the sea. They were in the windward position. Li Dong also sent a warship to sail towards Incheon according to the direction provided by Chen Xin to attract the enemy here.
"Chen Xin, let's park the ship according to the direction of the wind first. When the thieves' ship is led over, the sails are raised according to the direction of the wind. Follow the T-shaped tactics I mentioned and command the fleet!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"During artillery battles, pay attention to using different shells for different situations"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a man who had been hanging on the mast looking out shouting
¡°The ship is back, the ship is back!!¡±
Li Dong looked far into the distance and could see his ship heading this way. There were several large ships hanging far behind. He could clearly see people on the other side of his ship holding red flags and dancing desperately. The colors were conspicuous. Very well, this semaphore means it has attracted pirates.
"From now on, it's all under your command!" Li Dong patted Chen Xin's shoulder hard.
Chen Xin took a deep breath. Although he has commanded countless naval battles, this is the first time he has commanded a naval battle in front of Li Dong. Whether he can win this battle will directly determine whether he can stand firm by Li Dong's side in the future. heel. Chen Xin slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and calmed down his mood.
¡°Send the order to raise the sails!¡±
The messenger loudly repeated the order behind Chen Xin, and everyone on the deck immediately became busy. The sailors shouted and used the pulleys to raise the sails. This happened to be in the direction of the wind. Li Dong looked up and saw several sails on the ship. They are all rising and Zhangman, and you can feel that the speed of the ships is slowly increasing, and the same is true for the ships behind them.
If the return route of the big ship used as a bait is regarded as a straight line, the ambush ship will be facing it. The two sides are getting closer and closer, the view of the sea is wide, and the pursuing pirate ship can also see Li Dong and others.
Hai Shark stretched out his finger and did a simple calculation of addition and subtraction. There were five ships on his side and four on the opposite side. Five to four, he had a big chance of winning! Done!
Although Haisha has never learned the T-shaped tactic, he naturally knows that being in a headwind situation is extremely disadvantageous after being at sea for a long time. In order to restore the unfavorable situation and seize the windward direction, Haisha took the steering wheel and turned the rudder to the right.
Chen Xin has been watching the movements of the enemy ship with a telescope. When he saw the opponent turning the rudder to the right, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the emperor's calculation! He hurriedly made corresponding tactical arrangements: "Turn the fleet to the left and insert it diagonally!"
Li Dong's fleet took advantage of the downwind to intercept the front end of the pirate column, and formed a T sequence in front of the enemy fleet.
This, what¡¯s going on? Sea Shark looked ahead inexplicably. Why did those people turn their ship sideways and face them with its broadside?
In this era, in order to exert the power of the angle of attack, naval battles have always been based on the impact of the bow of the ship, followed by the slap of the side stick, the powerful shooting of the bow and crossbow, and finally the hand-to-hand combat with the side.
What does it mean to start with the boat facing us sideways? The sea shark hesitated, not knowing how to respond, so it could only hit it.
The opponent's big ships turned around and formed a long snake, and their route changed from facing him to forming an angle of 90 degrees with his fleet's course.
Chen Xin loudly ordered, "Open the gun windows and fire!" Then he heard a small sound coming from the side of the ship.
From a distance of about 600 meters, Sea Shark could clearly see the situation on the other side. Windows after windows were opened on the sides of the ships, and columns protruded from those windows, with black holes in the middle. This thing He knows. . .
"Artillery!" Haisha felt his scalp numb, and his whole body was trembling as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Everything was over. . .
Li Dong had already told the sailors that when firing, they should grab hold of things around them in time. The whole ship swayed violently, and Li Dong and the others shook violently.
From the side of the sea shark, flames and a burst of gray smoke were erupted in turn from the bow to the stern of the ship, and then "dong, dong, dong" sounded on the sea. A series of loud noises rolled past like muffled thunder. In the sky, thick water pillars appeared on the sea in front, back, left and right of him. The continuous sound of cannons was more terrifying than the devil's reminder, making his whole body tremble like chaff. No, it wasn't him shaking this time, it was the shaking of the hull being hit. Two times, three times. . . Suddenly, the ship's hull suffered a series of vibrations, and it seemed as if the whole world was shaking.
Three of the five large ships of Haisha were riddled with holes in an instant. The shells fired by Chen Xin included not only solid bullets but also chain rounds. All the sails on these three ships were completely destroyed.In the sky, one by one anchored on the sea.
The sailors on Chen Xin's side turned the rudder and adjusted the sails with great skill. The ship, which weighed nearly 500 tons, was as nimble as a fish swimming in the water under their control, crushing the waves briskly and completing the roundabout.
After making a big detour, Chen Xin went around to the end of the Sea Shark queue, and there was another standard T-shaped structure, and another round of crazy air explosions. The two ships behind also suffered the same fate.
In a naval battle, only by hitting the waterline with solid bullets and allowing seawater to pour in through the holes will the ship be destroyed. Therefore, although the Sea Shark fleet was hit by two rounds of shelling at this time, except for the two ships There were a few big holes on the side and the inability to raise the sail, but there was no real damage.
Chen Xin¡¯s fleet conducted two more rounds of shelling around the sea shark. All the pirates hid smartly, secretly praying that they would not be hit by the unlucky shells.
The shelling finally stopped, and Haisha was about to poke his head out from the side of the thick ship. There was a ship approaching his ship on the opposite side, and it was about to engage in a boarding battle. Haisha breathed a sigh of relief, so he might still have some strength. Chance.
Haisha hurriedly drew out his saber and ordered loudly, "Boys, the enemy is about to join the battle. Let's take advantage of the situation and fight to the opposite ship"
The chests of the pirates below were rising and falling sharply. It was obvious that they had been frightened by the shelling just now, but at the critical moment of life and death, they couldn't do anything else. They screamed and drew out their swords and axes, preparing to fight the enemy to the death.
The hooks and ropes were thrown over one by one and hooked firmly on the side of the Sea Shark ship. The ship on the opposite side was getting closer little by little. Sea Shark was leaning over, ready to speed up and jump to the opposite boat to fight as soon as the boat shook. He was somewhat confident in fighting on the boat.
The boat shook, "Come on!" Haisha yelled, swung his sword forward, and rushed forward quickly. He kicked hard on the side of the boat and flew into the air. . .
On the opposite deck, rows of black muzzles were facing toward him. . .
The lead bullets were like a swarm of wasps, rolling in the air and flying towards Sea Shark and his men. . . Haisha and his minions used their own tragic experiences to illustrate the power of shotguns.
The first row of pirates who jumped over the side were torn to pieces with the rumbling sound of cannons and hit back. Their bloody bodies fell on the deck of the Sea Shark ship. This made the pirates who wanted to charge later suddenly stunned. Terrified.
There was a pirate who was holding on to the side of the ship and was about to turn over when he heard the sound of cannons and hurriedly stopped his body. After the buzzing lead bullets passed by, he was delighted to find that his torso was intact. There was just some sticky blood on his face. Just when I was about to wipe it with my hands, I found that the right hand holding the side of the boat was no longer there, and there were still white bone stubble on the top. . .
No crying, no moaning, this is a real blood pool hell. Even the murderous pirates were so scared that they lost their souls. Those who were lucky enough to be uninjured had no sparkle in their eyes, and they were as dumb as walking zombies.
At this time, soldiers from the opposite side holding swords and axes and wearing armor jumped over, and a massacre began. . .
"Compared to the Sea Shark's ship, the fate of several other ships was not that good.
Li Dong seemed to have no intention of taking prisoners, or was afraid that his T-shaped tactics would be leaked, so. . . The gunners aimed their guns below the waterline, booming
A large amount of seawater poured into the enemy ship, and the ship began to tilt, leak, and drain. It was impossible to save it no matter what. The ship tilted and sank slowly and inexorably.
The remaining pirates jumped into the sea from both sides and swam as hard as they could. They were racing against death.
The influx of a large amount of seawater pushed the hull structure to its limit, causing the wooden hull to make "rattling" squeezing and friction sounds. Suddenly, it was as if there were two huge hands in the void squeezing it hard. It instantly broke into two pieces in the middle and submerged into the water with a crash.
Where the ship sank, a large whirlpool arose on the sea, as if the sea suddenly opened its gluttonous mouth, swallowing the ship's hull, bits and pieces, and the pirates who had not yet traveled far.
After a long time, the whirlpool disappeared. Broken boards and other objects lighter than seawater floated up, while there were only a few pirates left, struggling to survive in the seawater.
"Don't live alive!" Chen Xin ordered loudly, and then he heard the sound of ping-pong-pong-pong-pong firecrackers.
The remaining pirates shouted desperately in the sea water. They were hit one by one and then sank to the bottom of the sea like iron weights. . .
"Your Majesty, this T-shaped combat method is so powerful. The whole battle lasted less than half an hour."
Li Dong laughed loudly and was in a good mood. This was also his first time to verify the T-shaped tactics in the textbook in actual combat.
"Today is justA small test, these five ships are really no good. When you have time, you can discuss it with foreigners. They have a lot of artillery on their warships. If you can defeat them, then you will truly understand T-type warfare. Law. "
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will go down and understand the mystery carefully."
"Has the messenger for Han Dongkai been sent?"
"We have sent it out a long time ago, and we have made an appointment to meet near the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea in twenty days."
"Diaoyu Island?" Li Dong smiled, "Haha What a good name. Fishing, fishing, I hope the fish can bite the hook!" - Didn't finish reading?
